• Personal networking (conferences, meet-ups, etc.)

Guy Kawasaki
The Five P’s of Social Media
Facebook is for people — People who you went to high school or college with and your family.
Twitter is for perceptions — Perceptions such as “I feel an earthquake and I’m in Chile.”
Google+ is for passions — Passions such as photography that you cannot share with your
Facebook people.
Pinterest is for pinning — Pinning pictures with little interaction.
LinkedIn is for Pimping — as in making business connections or finding a job.

Musts for being on ALL Social Media
• Fill out your profile as completely as you are comfortable – diff for FB v. LI • Show a good headshot – or at the very least your branded logo
• Use the same headshot or logo on all networks (for starters) • Link to your demo website
• Include contact information to the extent you’re comfortable
• Your Brand/Image/personna should be consistent across all networks
